I noticed a similar issue with Touchdown notifcations via Other and Accessibility checked. Worked fine but I get notifications when there is really is not one. Once this works with Touchdown, the app will be perfect, IMO.

Great work.

Call dismissed all notifications??

I just installed this app on my Nexus S, I was wondering if anybody could help me.

Say I received a few notificaitons (emails, sms, voicemail) and then a call comes in and goes unanswered, then all the other notifications disappear and I am left with only a missed call notification and one "all other" notification. Is it supposed to do that or is that a bug? or is it a bug with Gingerbread or the Nexus S? I appreciate your help

NoLed

Wish I knew the answer to that, but I think there is a Q&A either in the OP or in the developers website. He is on holiday break right now, said he wouldn't really be available until January.:) Congrats on the Nexus S!

audio reminder

NoLed has been working fine for me, all the updates, though recent addition of audio reminder doesn't seem to work, I set an interval time, etc., no tone. I have the phone on Vibrate/ring, tried it with ring only, too. Vibrate notification at set intervals works fine, and I have the proximity sensor not enabled.

Captivate with 2.1 stock, rooted.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

nexus s noled crash when incoming call

hello dev. nice utility. when you get back from holiday, maybe check my logcat and tell me if you need more of the log to help me out.

when noled active and phone screen in sleep, incoming call cannot be answered since screen wakes for a few rings but answer slider is unresponsive...screen goes dark soon again and the menu button will not wake device as phone continues to ring. after incoming call ceases, menu button resumes functionality to wake device and screen input work normal:

If this is somewhere in the previous 169 pages I apologize. Great app. Couldn't live with out it.

When I was using it with the Gmail app and would read a message on my computer the NoLED notification would immediately go away. I am now using K-9 and this does not happen. The notification stays even though I've opened the message on my computer or the website. Is there a setting or could it be added?
[Android Apps and Games] sophistical:
It's always great to see a developer stay on top of his app like this; thanks for checking in!

I've got a feature request and my justification below, thanks for reading.

Request:

I'd love for NoLED to support a notifications for Kik Messenger similar to what you do with the (Google) Talk application.

Read more about Kik at (www (dot) kik (dot) com)

Reasoning:

I'm on US Cellular; a primarily regional carrier. The Mesmerize (Samsung Galaxy S) is (at the current time IMHO) the best current Android phone we can purchase, however it doesn't have an LED. I've been a heavy Blackberry user for 4 years and love Blackberry Messenger and most of my friends have it as well. Since RIMM hasn't kept up in the phone game I've been eyeballing Android but I really wanted a solid messaging app with sent/read notifications. Kik came along and on the strength of that app I've made the switch; so have at least 4 friends in the last week alone. However, since Samsung felt the need to mimic the iphone so heavily, right down to the lack of a notification LED I'm missing communications and am having to fall back on Google Talk. If your app could support Kik that would be great. I expect a lot of other users on devices without LEDs will have this same desire in the near future due to the popularity of the KIK app; my friends certainly do!

Thanks in advance for considering this request! I'd happily put in a request to Kik if their application would need to be updated so that you have an event you can work off of.
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
If KiK does put a notification on your android notification bar when you receive a message, then this should definitely work with the "All other" toggle.

You'll have to wait til the next release to get more finer grain control over which apps get notified by NoLED. But yea, this should work as well :)
[Android Apps and Games] sophistical:
You were right! I had "All other" checked but I re-checked it, enabled Accessibility options, and then checked Kik and then it worked. Awesome! Thank you so much for explaining that! This app is now more than ever the most important app on this phone! Huge thanks; I've donated!
[Android Apps and Games] Luxferro:
I recently bought a Nexus S, and have been using your app. It works good!

My only issue so far is no support for google voice, which is what I do all my texting with. Right now I have it set to notify on all system notification... but it gets kind of annoying when it notifies you of unimportant things.

+1 for Google Voice please!
[Android Apps and Games] sophistical:
One side effect I have found is that Tasker must somehow create a notification about every 10-12 minutes so when I use "All Other" and have Tasker on I get false notifications. NoLed > Tasker though so I'm still please with the fact that it can work. It would still be awesome if Kik was supported in a future release so I could still use Tasker.

Hello madmack...sorry for not noting in my post that my device is a Nexus S.

auto rotation

I just upgraded to cognitionv2.3b8 with froyo 2.2 on samsung galaxy captivate. I have auto rotation on within froyo 2.2 and dismiss with proximity sensor checked in noled. Ok, when I put phone into my side holster noled doesn't turn off notifications when the auto rotation is on.But, when I turn auto rotation off then noled turns off notifications and works normal. Any help why this is happening? Has anyone ran into this problem?

@ madmack,

Hi, I like your NoLED a lot & have been using it since it was introduced. I would like to request you to add battery % to the screen, that would enable us to decide weather to charge immediately.

I have also sent you a PM regarding this.

samsung fascinate phone

I hate to bother you guys but Ive been on this forum for 4 hours trying to figure out this program for my wifes Samsung Fascinate phone. Im sort of new to this phone but I downloaded the program..noLED is running in the applications..I do the test and the icons float around. Now the problem. When the phone goes into sleep mode the icons dont show up. nothing..just a blank screen. When I hit the power button the screen lights up and I have to move the puzzle over to unlock it..I hope someone has run into this same issue. I just bought the fascinate phone for her 30 days ago..thank you
[Android Apps and Games] sophistical:
@loststeve So you let the phone go to sleep and send an SMS (while the phone is asleep) and NoLED doesn't show the notification a second after the SMS is received?

Open NoLED from the applications area and ensure under "Toggle Notifications" make sure SMS/MMS has a green check next to it. Under Customize (Blink) I have "Enable" checked as well.
[Android Apps and Games] loststeve:
samsung fascinate

sophistical ..thanks for getting back..yes..I had the sms and phone toggled..also just toggled blink...just sent a sms..you can hear the clatter and bells but no other notification..go figure..could the operating system in the phone be incompatible?
[Android Apps and Games] evilhunter101:

[Android Apps and Games] decouvrir:
has anyone made it work with go sms?

here's my problem.

for go sms, i have 2 option for the message popup to appear,

1) when i unlock the screen, the popup will appear

2) automatically pops up at the home screen

by using no led, i wanted to see the sms notifcation when the phone is lock with option 1)

however, they just can't seem to work together as the popup for option 1 will just appear ontop of the sms notification by no led.
[Android Apps and Games] sophistical:
@decouvrir I'd suggesting disabling SMS on NoLED (Open the settings and under Toggle Notifications uncheck SMS and see if that works) so that only Go SMS notifies you for SMS but NoLED works for the other notifications.

@loststeve I'd second raymond and suggest a reinstall since we know it's working for other fascinate users. There must be something else going on; do you have any other apps that might be interfering like possibly a task killer app?
[Android Apps and Games] Syphon Filter:
Hi there,

Is there any way to make the notications not bounce around the screen, I appreciate the reason for the bounching but I would like them to be static (user definable location) but with a blink rate (user definable on and off times). Surely that would side-step the issue of screen burn?

Also, do the notications look at emails other than Gmail, will it notify on corporate exchange/hotmail exchange?

I've done a quick scan of the thread but not read every page!!

Any help appreciated.

EDIT: Just read a bit more, seems exchange support is a little tricky?
[Android Apps and Games] ragin:
Is this an APP or DEV?
[Android Apps and Games] tina127:
So, I installed it, turned the phone off and on, put the widget on my home screen. Still nothing. What am I missing?

I read one post that said go to settings>Apps>running services. It's not on the list. My question is, if you go to NoLED settings>toggle notifications> all other, when you check NoLED at the bottom of the list and it tells you it can gather all your data including credit card numbers, are you supposed to leave this checked? That message made me not want to......:confused:
[Android Apps and Games] tempura:
I love the app. In the next update, it would be cool if we can use the "display clock" screen even if there's no missed calls/sms/vm/etc. Permanent screen saver.
[Android Apps and Games] sophistical:
@tina127 Do you have a task killer that may be killing the service? Good point about checking the running services; @loststeve you may wish to do that as well.

It's definitely running for those of us that it is working for.

As for the "all other" setting; you only need to turn that on if you want noLED to alert you when you get alerts from non-standard applications that aren't in the lost of apps you can toggle on and off. You normally wouldn't turn that on. I use it because I want to get alerts from the "Kik" app but it causes me to get an alert from every notification I get and so I can't use tasker (causes alerts every 10 minutes or less) and even the music player (if it's running in the background) cause alerts to come up. I'd leave that off unless you want to get notices on all other alerts.
[Android Apps and Games] tina127:
Thanks sophistical.

I do have advanced task killer but I made sure to uncheck it on the list (as I have had that problem before) before I killed my programs.

I know it works and I was so excited when I found it because I changed from a droid x and was really missing my led notification. I just don't know what I'm doing wrong.=(

I'm sure it is me because I am hardly tech savvy.....
[Android Apps and Games] sophistical:
I'd check out the FAQ here for further ideas. Maybe you have a non-default lock screen or one of the other apps that are known to conflict (first FAQ)?
[Android Apps and Games] tina127:
nothing there that helped.

I just restarted the phone again and it works!

Yea! I love it!!!:D
[Android Apps and Games] sophistical:
I should have suggested that; I thought about it but didn't type it. Oh well.

I love it too; it was stupid to not include and LED on these phones but with this app makes the phone work even better than it would with an LED.
[Android Apps and Games] tina127:
I agree about the no led! Such a small feature but so nice.

So, I guess I spoke (or typed) too soon. The text icon works but not missed call or voice mail. Those are the only 3 I enabled. I even re-booted again.
[Android Apps and Games] sophistical:
From the FAQ:

Some of the reasons why NoLED don't work are:

* Use of Widget Locker (question 3)

* Not having a lock screen when you turn your screen on by default ("Puzzle" swipe-to-unlock or the Android pattern unlocking are examples of such screens).

* NoLED is known to have some compatiblity issues with WidgetLocker, No LOCK, Handcent SMS, ChompSMS and Launcher Pro (to some extend).

* Make sure you're not using any task killers/managers that are deliberately stopping NoLED's background service.

Do you use any of those apps or have a non-standard lock screen?
[Android Apps and Games] tina127:
I don't know what widget locker is.

I have the default puzzle piece screen lock-No code or path lock

I had handcent but deleted it. Not familiar with the others. Are these apps that could be standard?

I use task killer but NoLED is unchecked. Is that all I need to do to make sure it doesn't kill it??

Sorry to be so ignorant.....

Like I said, the text icon started working, even the time display. But still no missed calls or vm icon.
[Android Apps and Games] sophistical:
Interesting, did you ensure that you had the test call and voicemail come in after the application started working for texts?

I'd make sure the service is still running and then send a test sms to ensure that it works. Once you know it worked (if it does) I'd immediately try a test call to see what happens.
[Android Apps and Games] tina127:
Thanks. I will do that.
[Android Apps and Games] tina127:
OK

Tested again. Nothing.

Waited a few minutes. Did a test call w/ VM, and had a test text sent and they all showed up!:confused:

Don't know why. Don't care. Just glad it's working! And hope it keeps working!

Thanks for everyone's input.
[Android Apps and Games] AuroEdge:
Is there a consensus on how much battery the Proximity Sensor option uses? In my battery stats sensorserver_ya is now the number one power offender.
[Android Apps and Games] Enhanced:
I read the first post, the FAQ and looked through the app settings but didn't find the answer to my quesiton. I'm not sure if anyone through this massive thread has mentioned it, but this is my suggestion:

If it's possible, there should be a delay before NoLED activates.

I don't think it's necessary that NoLED activates right away after a sms/gtalk etc. because most of the time, the user is around for the alert and can check it right away. If the user doesn't check their alerts in a few minutes, then NoLED should come on, because it can be safely assumed that the alert has been missed.

I'm not a programmer by any means, but hypothetically, the app could check in 5 minutes if there are any outstanding missed calls/gtalks/sms which the user hasn't dismissed yet, and then turn on the screen and activate the app.

I believe doing this can also save on battery life as the screen doesn't have to come on so often.
[Android Apps and Games] FL00DY:
There is an option to delay SMS notif. But it is noted as experimental and check if using with Handcent SMS, I assume because of it's pop-up feature.

Empty home screens and apps tab no loading

Experienced today empty home screens and apps tab no loading with 4.0.4 on samsung galaxy s froyo 2.2. Uninstalling the app resolved the problem. Was working ok for a few weeks.
[Android Apps and Games] tina127:
still not working properly.....

So, NoLED randomly started working yesterday after many attempts. It was working when I left work, quit when I got home, uninstalled and re-installed last night, worked, and this morning not working again.

And NO, sleep is not enabled.

Does anyone have ANY suggestions other than re-booting the phone everytime the app stops working???

I really like it and would love to keep it but not if it's not going to work right.:confused:

do you have the on/off widget on your home screen? Sometimes I accidentally turn mine off.
[Android Apps and Games] TheDOC123:
Hi,

I think I have found a serious bug regarding NoLED and the android calendar:

I'm using the SyncML client app provided by Synthesis. The app always stopped syncing at 180 calendar entries and the android CalendarProvider threw an exception or died completely. I've been searching for the reason for the last serveral days and narrowed it down to NoLED.

After removing NoLED from my device (Orange San Francisco with Froyo image) the sync didn't only complete, it ran way faster. I think, NoLED does something wrong with the calendar. I would guess that too many database connections are held open on excessive calendar changes so that at some point the CalendarProvider just cannot access the SQLite database and dies.

[Android Apps and Games] aritafari:
Nice post. I have a similar experience regarding the proximity sensor - it does not drain my battery, and I do put my phone face down when I go to sleep. The activation delay idea is a good one.

Working great on my new NS- thanks dev!

Can anyone shed some light on why "all others" causes NoLED to activate and freeze my screen during incoming calls, treating it like a notification? If "all others" is active then I can't use the phone. But if it's not, I can't use NoLED for Google Voice.

Any plans for GV support, or is there a setting I've messed up?
[Android Apps and Games] jonc:
Great app, and having just got a nexus s (managed to lose my nexus one last week), this is going to be an essential app for everyday use.

I have a question about its use of notifications and if it might be possible to make it a bit more like Trackball Alert in its intercepting of other programs notifications. I think this would require root (and changes made to the NotificationManager), or could be done through the existing accessibility architecture that's in place. I think this would change the app from a 'really useful' to a 'can't live without'.

In summary I'd like to be able to get notifications for everything and specify icons for individual apps (e.g. Facebook, Astrid) so that I don't just have a single notification type for "everything not-stock".
[Android Apps and Games] evilhunter101:
He already has your suggestion in the works. He's been very busy lately and is a one-person dev team so we are all playing the waiting game. Btw the route being explored is that through the accessibility architecture. :)
[Android Apps and Games] jonc:
Ah, that's great news. I suspected that someone else may have had the same idea before, but there's quite a few pages to the thread!

If the dev ever comes on here, I might be able to lend a hand as I'm a Java developer and would be keen on getting a nice implementation before I start to miss my trackball too much. I'd also be interested in investigating resolving popup conflicts/better power button integration.

I shall wait with bated breath :-)

Screen not completely off??

Hi guys!

First of all, thanks for this great app! It's such a valuable addition to my Samsung Galaxy S. I could not imagine a life without it!

After reading the developer's FAQ and not finding an answer to my issue, I decided to post it here.

It's actually a short one: At night, it looks like the WHOLE display of my phone is on, meaning faintly lit, when I get notified by NOLED. Is this normal behaviour? Should it not be the outstanding advantage of AMOLED, that only parts of the display are active and the rest is pitch black, thus not consuming any energy?

Thanks for your answer!

Nexus S

Hi there,

Thanks for this great app, it works beautifully on my Nexus S.

However, I came across some issues:

1) Softkeys backlight (back, menu, search, home)

I'm using version 4.0.6b, but the softkeys backlight are still turned on when NoLED is displaying notifications.

2) Touching on the screen when NoLED is displaying notification icons

Touching on the screen while the notification icons are displayed results in a popup window saying "Sorry! Activity ScreenActivity(in application NoLED) is not responding.".

There are 2 buttons: "Force close" and "Wait". Clicking on "Wait" goes back to the NoLED notifications display, and everything continues to work. If I touch the screen again, the error will display again. If I click on "Force close", NoLED will be closed.
